Thread: Which mail client do you use?

The poll says it all. I filp flop between thunderbird and evolution for pop and IMAP. Most of my mail is forwarded into Gmail at some point.

What do you use and what do you like/dislike about it?

I'll use clients on my PC only. Web mail is forever and not private. It can come back to haunt you. You may say my mail is not gonna get me in trouble, but one can never know if that is true. Online email services make me paranoid!

Outlook express, I have a bought and paid for version of outlook on my notebook but I never use it.

Well, I used OutlookExpress before but now I have switched to Thunderbird. I simply love it.
Easy to use and serves the purpose

I tried Thunderbird, it crashed the data base, never trying that again

Outlook. I make full use of the calendar. It's saved my ass a few times.

I'd try outlook again, I know it's supposed to be so much more powerful than outlooks express but it doesn't have one key option outlook express has 'from what I could tell' Identities, or does it?

Yes, but they are called profiles in Outlook.
Each profile can be setup with a completely different set of PST/Archive Files/POP3 Accounts/ETC.
I also use Outlook because I set the location of my PST file to an "Outlook" folder in My Documents.
That way (as long as Outlook is closed), when I backup my documents, I am also backing up all my e-mail, contacts, calendar, etc.

I'll have to try it again then. I paid like $300 for the software package that includes Outlook and do you think I use any of it? Once in a great while I load excel...

AOL :P

OE on my LT, OL on desktop.

I do not much care for web based mails either.

I use Excel to keep track of my domains/servers.

Outlook is my no.1 choice. Tried Thunderbird and didn't have enough features for me.

Outlook organises me from emails to meetings, tasks, sticky notes. Couldn't live without it.

Incredimail Premium - just because.

nothing yet.
Using mail inboxes to check/send mails.
Don't think its a must.

It prevents you from having to log into several places, all your email delivered to one place and always available when you need it.

Outlook Express here

When I was newly online, I used Outlook, but was then told it's full of security holes and it's not safe, I got rid of it, and eventually paid for Incredimail.

I do like being told I have mail, bu because I pay I get more notifiers, I have a little bee buzz in to notify me. But sound is off.

I used to have a little puppy dog with a love letter and a heart set up for when a certain someone would email me, but when he left me it killed me seeing the stupid thing. So now everyone uses da BEE!

You should get a kick out of this.... one of my clients is actually the co-creator of Outlook Express... and he recently asked me how to make his companies email system work better... My answer? Gmail! Any of you w/ multiple websites should really take a look at the video tut that I made for gmail - How to add an alias This works B-E-A UTIFULLY!

I can send and receive email from all of my sites.../ client sites etc... from one BIG box...

I use Thunderbird. The mails are easy to manage.

I use GMail and its POP 3 feature. =)

My favorite desktop email client is Thunderbird.

Outlook Express

I use OE as well. Now, if I could actually remove it then I might consider an alternative...:spiny:
